4.5 Million Gallon Reservoir Project
 

Much like the Arcata and the McKay Community Forests, the McKinleyville Community Forest will be managed for multiple objectives, including public recreation, timber production, water quality, and wildlife habitat protection. Under the guidance of a forest management plan, MCSD will reinvest income generated by timber harvests back into the forest, offsetting costs of trail, access point, and amenity development and maintenance. This project will add a new water storage tank to the existing water distribution system.

BMX Track & Park

 

Our Parks & Recreation Department was awarded a Prop. 68 Statewide Park Development Grant on December 8, 2021, which will provide $2,331,375 to build a BMX Track and new Park on our Washington Property. This property is 3 acres in size and is located between Washington and School Roads. 

The new park will have an inclusive playground, restrooms, outdoor basketball and pickleball courts, a parking lot and landscaping in addition to the BMX Track and concession stand.

Melton Design Group, Inc. has been awarded the design engineering contract for this project.  The design engineering is almost complete and we anticipate going out for construction bids in Spring of 2024. This new park is expected to be completed before March of 2025.
